Smoothie King Gladiator GLP-1 Vanilla Recipe

Want to make the Smoothie King Gladiator GLP-1 Vanilla at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the one behind the counter. It’s creamy, packed with 45 grams of protein, and costs way less than a drive-thru run.

How I Figured Out This Recipe

The first time I blended this one up it came out thin, almost like vanilla milk. I knew the real Gladiator starts with their low-carb vanilla protein and then lets you pick two mix-ins, so my mission was to nail that thick shake feel without piling on sugar.

My “aha” moment was swapping water for a splash of unsweetened almond milk and sneaking in a tiny pinch of xanthan gum. The almond milk keeps carbs low, and the xanthan gum gives it that spoon-thick texture we all love. One sip later—boom!—it tasted just like Smoothie King poured it for me.

Gladiator GLP-1 Vanilla Ingredients

• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder: this brings the big 45 g protein punch.
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk: keeps it creamy with almost no carbs.
• ½ cup ice: chills it down and helps the protein fluff up.
• Pick any 2 of these add-ins (¼ cup each): almonds, almond butter, wild blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, organic ginger, carrots, kale, or spinach—just like the store lets you choose.
• Optional pinch xanthan gum: secret weapon for a milkshake-thick texture.

How to Make Smoothie King Gladiator GLP-1 Vanilla (Copycat)

1. Pour the almond milk into your blender.
2. Add your two chosen add-ins plus the ice.
3. Scoop in the vanilla protein powder and sprinkle the xanthan gum on top.
4. Blend on high for 30 seconds until everything is silky and thick.
5. Taste and fix: too thick? Splash in a little more almond milk. Need more sweetness? add three or four berries.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version

• The same vanilla protein flavor delivers that sweet, creamy base without added sugar.
• Almond milk keeps the carbs low but still gives the smooth mouthfeel.
• Frozen add-ins copy the “choose two” bar at the shop, so the flavor is spot-on.
• A tiny bit of xanthan gum traps air bubbles, making the shake extra thick.

Easy Tips and Swaps

• Vegan swap: use a plant-based vanilla protein.
• Keto hack: stick to nuts, nut butter, or leafy greens for your two add-ins.
• More fiber: toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds.
• Extra protein: bump it to three scoops for about 60 g.

How to Store Your Smoothie

• In the Fridge: Pour any leftovers into a jar and chill up to 24 hours. Shake hard before drinking—protein likes to settle.
• In the Freezer : Freeze the smoothie in an ice-cube tray. When you’re ready, throw the cubes back in the blender with ¼ cup almond milk for an instant thick treat.
